Ray Liotta Gets Toss Around in First Killing Them Softly Clip

We haven’t even seen a trailer for Andrew Dominik’s “Killing Them Softly” yet, but a clip has surfaced, just in time for the film’s Cannes Film Festival debut in Frogland later this month. The movie was originally called “Cogan’s Trade”, which I personally thought was a better title. If nothing else, it doesn’t sound nearly as generic and direct-to-DVD-ish as “Killing Them Softly”. In any case, check out your first look at the movie, which takes a bit of getting used to, especially after Dominik’s “The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford”.

The film finds Brad Pitt playing Cogan, a professional enforcer who investigates a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker game. That shotgun he carries is one of the tools of his trade. The badass looking leather jacket is the other one.
